The anterior thoracic nerve from the C5 to C8 roots innervates the pectoralis major and minor, and the thoracodorsal nerve from C6 to C8 roots innervates the latissimus dorsi muscle. The axillary nerve is formed by fibers of the C5 to C6 roots which go through the posterior cord of the plexus and innervate the deltoid and teres minor muscles, as well as part of the skin of the lateral shoulder.
The hypoglossal nerve provides motor control of the extrinsic muscles of the tongue; genioglossus, hyoglossus, styloglossus, and the intrinsic muscles of the tongue. These represent all muscles of the tongue except the palatoglossus muscle. The hypoglossal nerve is of a general somatic efferent (GSE) type. The nerve controls actions that are both automatic and voluntary. Voluntary control pathways occur in the corticobulbar region in the spinal cord.
